Even without Barbenheimer - No Way Home and Avatar 2 grossed more worldwide.

Movies, or in this matter, cinemas would always be around. Though only few would really breakout at the boX office, especially with streaming.

Well, there was no question that Avatar 2 would make bank except from those who foolishly doubted that Cameron could deliver another billion-dollar Avatar.

As for Deadpool saving the MCU, it will take more than 1 film to save the Mcu. They need to cancel/trim down their annual originals coming straight to Disney+. When it comes to future movies, the success of Deadpool wouldn't guarantee that Captain America, Fantastic 4, Thunderbolts and Blade wouldn't flop in 2025. Those need to be good, marketed well and released at the right time. Dumping them all in 2025, is not wise imo. Who knows if Avengers 5 and 6 aren't critical failure, etc.

Unless the trailers look bad, which I doubt, Deadpool 3 will be one of MCU's highest grossing movies.
But. I don't think the MCU will return to the glory days ever again. It's gonna have its big movies here and there, sure, but the days of each installment being "we gotta go see the next one!" are gone. Superhero fatigue is real.

 

[psylockolussus]

That will surely happen when if the current 2025 release slate happens. Not all of those are gonna be boX office hits at this rate, even if they are good.

But MCU has already released 33 movies in just 15 years, so it was a bit of record that they didn't have a flop until their 33rd movie.

Looks like we are going to do some time traveling from those pics.

i wanted the classic Sabretooth comics look, not the X1 long hair look.

I wonder if we'll see the other foX-Men in these leaked/paparazzi set photos.

 

[Da-Scribe]

If I can see James Marsden in the classic colors I will die a happy man.

Spoiler

Also Tyler Mane's Sabretooth does nothing for me. I was really hoping to see Liev as a more visually accurate Creed. I haven't given up hope though.

 

[Superhero 101]

Is that really Tyler Mane though or just a stunt man?

 

[Da-Scribe]

Probably a stuntman, but I've still always found that iteration to be boring in terms of design and characterization. Even as a 10 year old lol.

So does this means the Toad version that will appear, will be similar to X1 Toad?

Its crazy in a cool way, that they are bringing back villains from the first X-Men film. My God, 25 years is a long time. I said 25 years, since X1 was filmed in 1999 and Deadpool will be out in 2024.

Well, kind of like with Joker, since they're doing so much outdoor filming, it was inevitable that so many set photos would get out there!

 

[psylockolussus]

Hmm those references to other ips are interesting.

 

[DyeLorean]

I'm confident that is gonna be a fun movie no matter what, but I am a bit worried that is gonna be too crowded with easters eggs and references and characters coming in and out like a Epic Movie or something, you know what I mean? There's soooo much stuff they can play with that I worry they'll start losing focus of what made the first Deadpool movie so good and how tight it was.

I do think that's a legitimate concern, whereas yeah, the first two Deadpool films could reference what they wanted, but still took place solely within the confines of the Fox X-Men universe. With the MCU, and that Deadpool is even here to begin with now, all bets are off and I'm sure the sort of cameos that people wanted in No Way Home or Multiverse of Madness could show up here. The thing about the Deadpool 2 cameos, like the Apocalypse cast or even the kid who played young David in Legion, is that they were brief and done.

That said, Rhett Reese and Paul Wernick writing again give me confidence that this won't just be a memberberry movie and will still have a solid story.

 

[psylockolussus]

The director doesn't give me confidence. But I hope this is at least better than The Marvels and Love/Thunder. Marvel Studios have been through a lot of questionable materials since phase 4 started. This movie being the worst Deadpool movie wouldn't surprise me.

I hope the visual effects would look very polished by July.

That is true. But I'm not so sure about Shawn Levy. He's a great guy and has made some really entertaining movies... that being said I've yet to see a truly great one from him.
